You've named your select tags wrong

echo "<select name='type_sal'>";
echo "<option selected value=''>default</option>";

foreach($type as $var){

echo "<option>$var</option>";

}

echo "</select><br><br>";

echo "Enter Desired size ";

echo "<select name='size_sal'>";

You've named them size_sal and type_sal. You're ment to name them as size_sel and type_sel.
